Lack of dynamic and top tier players at all skill positions on O.
Parker had one good season, but im not buying in yet after so many poor years before it. I need to see more consistency
The guy I hired to paint my house suffered from Luciemia and had bone marrow treatments. He oversaw the job as the boss, while his employees did the job. He told me it took a couple years before he felt like himself again. Now as for Jackson, he was the Donor, can't speak for him. But I'd imagine how weak he was while playing just after giving his sister a 2nd chance at life. I think some fans are overlooking the effects of what he did and the weakened state it left him in.The matchup with Epenesa was that overblown...yes Epenesa had some good plays on him but he held his own for much of the game.
Also remember he was weakened by the bone marrow transplant and by most opinions, he got stronger as the year progressed.
Even if Parker is elite, look at the AFC West's response to Mahomes. Denver drafted WR's at 15 and 46, even though they have one of the best, young WR's in the NFL, and Oakland used 12, 80, and 81 on WR's (though I guess they want to use Bowden Jr at RB). They play KC twice a year. They know they're not slowing them down. You need real firepower to compete consistently.
Safety is now my biggest concern
Those teams know you win with explosive plays that come mostly from the passing game. I was very disappointed we totally passed on maybe the best WR class ever in this draft. I hope they don't make the same mistake next year.Even if Parker is elite, look at the AFC West's response to Mahomes.

Pass rushing and running back. I have an inclination Shaq Lawson is going to go into the Phillip Wheeler category of free agency signings.
Howard is a jag to me and Brieda has issues staying healthy.
I don’t know that it will ever be in the Philip wheeler eye sore level but validate that contract with Lawson? Seriously doubt it.
Theres an awful lot of faith in scheme that has to be placed here for these things to happen. Buffalo isn’t gonna miss him I can tell ya that. Upticks in play from Edmunds at lb and Ed Oliver will easily offset
